Mason Mount excited by his role in Chelsea front three with Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic after the trio tore Crystal Palace to shreds as Thomas Tuchel's side look to finish the job against Porto and reach Champions League semi-finals

Mason Mount is excited by the prospect of combining with Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic in Chelsea's front three again after the trio wreaked havoc against Crystal Palace.

The England star was man of the match at Selhurst Park while both Pulisic and Havertz were on the scoresheet as Thomas Tuchel potentially found his most potent combination in attack.

It was the first time since Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard as manager that Chelsea had scored more than two goals in a match.

Havertz, who finally showed his class in blue colours as a false No 9, opened the scoring before Pulisic, stationed alongside Mount as a playmaker, netted twice.
